Welcome to the Fascist states of America
Posted by: aman on: November 30, 2007
It is incredible seeing the complete apathy of the populace in face of actions such as these. If actions such as holding a journalist from a Pulitzer prize winning AP journalistic team for 19 months without any charge alarmed you, that was only the tip of the iceberg.
Now the fire fighters are being trained to [...]
Guarding against US interference in Indian foreign policy
Posted by: aman on: November 29, 2007
What I have always failed to understand is the almost unconditional support to the Indo-US nuclear deal. Anyone with the temerity to question it and set some conditions has to be labelled a communist sissy without so much as a second thought to the concerns raised. Whether those concerns are valid or not could only [...]

The highly delusional state of the US populace would be mildly entertaining, were it not for the gravity of the situation and the respect of basic human rights and the tenets of International law and democracy. United States is called the “land of the free and home of the brave”. Bravery, it seems, has taken [...]

From time to time you come across some news which would be just hilarious, if it weren’t so ridiculous.
According to this Reuters report in the Washington Post, a lot of older ladies, to be politically correct, are travelling to Kenya, which is a country “just full of big young boys who like us older girls” [...]

The United States’ media and the populace always seem averse to asking the questions that are the most important. After 9/11, the question should have been what drove those people to fly those planes into the towers and what is the reason for the hate. Sadly, that question was never asked and when it was [...]

If anyone still had doubts that most conservatives are hypocrites, here is the some more proof.
I am talking about Conservapedia. I didn’t even know such a site existed. Well, it is supposed to be a conservative encyclopedia, whatever the hell that means. Here’s what Wikipedia says about this website:
Conservapedia is an English-language wiki-based web encyclopedia [...]

Surprise surprise!! It is not the Iranians? Who would have thought?
However, this is not what the MSM and the Bush regime have been repeating, is it? We are being fed story after story of how Iran is involved in arming and training the insurgents and is the primary source of foreign fighters. It ain’t so. [...]
Puppet court upholds Musharraf election
Posted by: aman on: November 22, 2007
…As if this was ever in doubt.
The newly appointed puppet judges by Musharraf uphold the re-election of Musharraf as the President of Pakistan. What else did anyone expect?
But amid all that is going on in Pakistan the Commander Guy offered his unstinting support to Musharraf saying he hasn’t crossed the line yet. Bush probably didn’t [...]
Realpolitik: The maturing of India’s foreign policy
Posted by: aman on: November 22, 2007
Economist has a good analysis of the gradual shift in India’s foreign policy which is keeping up with the time at least on some levels. As The Economist mentions in the footnote to the article, some idealists are less than happy with this gradual shift yet, it is worth keeping in mind that is quite [...]

This is an amazing revelation actually.
In a stunning disclosure certain to stir up things in Washington’s (and in Islamabad and New Delhi’s) strategic community, the journal Stratfor reported on Monday that the “United States delivered a very clear ultimatum to Musharraf in the wake of 9/11: Unless Pakistan allowed US forces to take control of [...]
